The Rainbow Repairman
For Mrs Alphabet
Who’s up early each and every morning
patching up holes
and fixing up old
used rainbows?
Buckets of paint filled with someday morning.
It’s hard to explain
but wishing for rain
brings rainbows.
The rainbow repairman
weaving the sky in his loom.
The rainbow repairman
chasing the blues
and turning the greens into dreams.
On a ladder long as time he’s working
painting the sky
with colors to dye
the rainbows.
Sitting on clouds and thinking out loud
each evening.
Colors were made
never to fade
on rainbows.

Really nice. Clever, (or should I say fishy?) the rainbow trout at the end!
